I'm running out of ideas . The discussions I start only receive less than 10 responses. I even have a discussion that has no response at all. Well I know it has to interesting but a lot of interesting topics we're already started. So it makes it more difficult for me.
Can somebody share a few ideas? Thanks in advance...

I think discussions that involve someones opinion..For example I started one a long time ago about serving spaghetti..Before I got married, I mixed my spaghetti and sauce together and then served it..My husband preferred it when I served them separate so he can mix it himself. So this discussion had a lot of responses, even months after I started it..
So I think one that show how someone prefers something, whether food or life, I find those are my best..
Then of course I know someone here who just had a grandbaby, and babies, especially when picture are involved, get many replies too.
I hope this helps..

Another idea is if you are away from your computer and you see something that would make a good discussion or something just comes to you, write it down so you don't forget..I have lost some discussions because I forgot to write it down while I was out..

Start one with a broad topic- like isntead of David Cook, say Comedy.
Oh, and try something original, like 2011 olympic predictions or something.

One good way to get a lot of responses would be to go to the discussions that your friends started and respond to all of them. Especially if there is one friend in particular that has started a lot of discussions.
I think a lot of time, people are more apt to respond to discussions of people who respond to their discussions.
I know I haven't started any discussions in a long time, so the last one that I have started has a bunch of responses.
You will probably get more responses to the discussions as time goes by. Not necessarily all in the same day.
Good luck to you! Have a great day posting on myLot!!!

I wish i knew the secret to that myself. I have found alot of my discussions dont get that many responses either. For what it's worth though I think that starting a discussion that alot of people have experience with is probably a good idea. It also helps to start it in a category that alot of people have as an interest. ie my lot or questions and answers. I got one of the most responses to where do you like to shop target or walmart? Stuff like that seems to get alot of responses.

personally, I think it would take a subject that a lot of people are passionate about, especially if you could find one that didnt involve religion or politics... something not many people really talk about but frustrates pretty much everyone... yeah Good luck with that XD lorl

That's easy -- what do you like and care about. Talk about that. If you like politics -- talk about your views. If you have a hobby -- bring up a topic about that. If a similar discussion has already been started, put a new spin on it. What would you talk about with your friends or family?
There are endless topics in this forum. Anything you can imagine -- you can find a place for.

I am in the same boat as you are. I have started almost 30 discussions and only one has gone into double digits. But I read an article today that has a lot of answers. And i will tell you this find the discussions that have lots of responses and see what those people are doing. This guy consistently gets 100+ responses. He also has over 3800 friends.

I have no idea, I nver get a lot of responses for my discussions. I don't know...I think that I'll just keep plugging along and eventually I will get a few discussions that are out of this world...or I'll just keep plugging along. I guess in the end, you can only do what you can do!

Somebody who responded here advised me to read another discussion about how to get responses. Check the other responses and you will see. The few things I did is I added as many friends as possible because of that the responses to my discussion got improved! Thanks for the reply!

I talked to the owner of MyGizmoz and they are actually working on a new platform. He even called me over the phone. They are working on something like sulit.com.ph. Don't worry they're not scam. What's your username there by the way?
About your response for this, I actually have a discussion that I got from a magazine and I'm thinking about starting another one from the one I just bought .
I started myLotting last sept. 5 but I've been a member for 6 months before that.

latest topics, like the news. talk about stuff that is happening. Talk about stuff people can respond about and try asking questions.
